Losing your teeth can be painful, uncomfortable and embarrassing, but you are not alone: Millions of people lose their teeth every year because of trauma, heredity, gum disease (periodontitis), and decay, and millions of people are turning to dental implants as a way to regain their quality of life.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a prosthetic replacement for a missing tooth. Dental implants can be used to replace your missing teeth with new, durable teeth that look and feel like your own. With the latest technology and materials, individual teeth, or even entire rows of teeth, can be replaced to restore your appearance and self-confidence. Implants blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and allow you to experience the confidence that comes from having your smile complete again. Dental implants are durable and long lasting, and they allow you to eat all the foods that are required in a healthy, balanced diet.

Who’s a good candidate for dental implants?
Anyone healthy enough for tooth extractions and oral surgery may qualify for dental implants. You’re an ideal candidate if:
- You have at least one severely damaged tooth
- You aren’t comfortable with dentures or are unable to wear them
- You have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support the implants
- You are dedicated to good oral hygiene and routine checkups after the procedure
Chronic diseases such as diabetes or heart disease, a history of radiation therapy or chemotherapy, and a history of tobacco use may affect healing after implant placement and should be discussed with your dentist at your consultation appointment prior to proceeding with implant treatment.

Implant Overdentures
Are you frustrated with removable dentures? Dental implants in the Bronx can be used to stabilize your denture providing an immediate and long-term improvement in comfort, chewing ability, and quality of life.
Loose and ill-fitting dentures can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. Some patients find that they are unable to tolerate conventional dentures at all.
With conventional dentures, patients often need to use denture adhesive, which can be messy and make dentures difficult to clean. Dentures can also cover taste buds resulting in a decreased sense of taste.
The addition of dental implants may result in a denture that is less bulky and does not cover the entire roof of the mouth, like conventional dentures, thus enhancing sense of taste and preventing gagging.
Dental implants placed in the bone can be used to stabilize existing or new dentures. Implant overdentures are removable and easy to clean, but must be removed every evening for proper hygiene.
